AI-guided underwater robots transform polar science
This project develops AI to plan and coordinate fleets of vessels from huge research ships to autonomous gliders that all gather vital information about the oceans.
The system decides where each should go, how to share tasks and when to return for charging, all in a matter of seconds.
It squeezes the most data from every battery cycle, reduces the cost of fuel-hungry vessels and improves reliability.
That means more data, less ship time and a smaller carbon footprint. It’s a smarter, greener way to explore the seas – and other industries can use it too
